At the onset of The Prestige, Cutter (Michael Caine) is busy showing a little girl the simplest of magic tricks and conditioning the audience's minds for the movie they are about to see. While eloquently describing the second stage of a trick (The Turn) as only Michael Caine can, Cutter drops a line which rings true for most mystery/thriller aficionados because with a good mystery, "You're looking for the secret, but you won't find it, because of course you're not really looking. You don't really want to know. You want to be fooled."
